To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that/I, Arum Semen, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator Hangers; and I do hereby declare the follow ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in hangers for wall-radiators.

One object of this invention is to rovide hangers whereby a radiator may e supported from a wall and adjusted so that the radiatorwill be held slightly inclined to a horizontal plane to render the radiator per fectly drainable.

. Another object is to produce a radiatorhanger comprising a metal bracket adapted to be rigidly secured to a brick or fire proof wall of a building and provided with a seat which is instrumental 1n carr ing a radiator and adjustable vertically independently of the said bracket.

Another ob'ect is to provide a ban er which is simp in construction and rea ily applied.

\Vith these objects in view, this invention consists in certain features of construction, and combinations of parts, hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the said drawings, F1 ure- 1 isa rear side view of a radiator and i1 ustrates the application of my improved hanger to the radiator. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on either line 2-2, Fig. 1, looking downwardly. Fig. 3 is a section on either line 3-3, Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Jteferring to the drawings, A indicates a radiator which is to be so supported from a walb'as to cause the radiator to be slightly inclined to a horizontal plane indicated by the dotted line B. y

1) represents the fluid-outlet in draining the radiator, which .outlet is low enou when the radiator is arranged slightly 1nclined to a horizontal plane to render the radiator perfectl drainable.

The radiator is supported from a plurality of h angers embodying my invention,

which hangers each comprise a metal bracket G which consists preferably of a vertically arran ed central member 5 extendin up and own the rear side of the r'afi tor and two end members 6 and 7 arraned substantially horizontally and pro'ectl' rearwardly from the u per en aii lower end respectively of t e central mem} her 5. Each end member of the bracket'j G J rovided at its rear end with a substatr ge 8 which; has

horizonv right metal rod H extends through thesa'ld holes and a suitable distance above the upper end member 6 of the bracket and below the lower end member 7 of the bracket. The rod H is offset forwardly, as at 13, below the lower end member 7 of the bracket, and the lower and forwardly otl'set lower end-portion of the said rod terminates in a hook It which extends under and forms a seat or support for the radiator. The upper endportion of the rod H is screw-threaded, and a correspondingly threaded nut J is mounted on the said end-portion of the rod next above and rests upon the upper end member 6 of the bracket. The hoo h, and consequently the radiator, is supported from the upper end member 6 of the bracket, and by properly manipulating the nut J the rod H and consequently the radiator are adpisted vertically as desired. I

By the construction herembefore descrlbed it will be observed that my improved radiator-hanger comprises a vertically adp stable seat or su port. for at radiator which 18 to be supporte rom a wall.

As already indicated, a plurality of my improved hangers are employed 1n supporting a radiator from a wall, which hangers are spaced laterally. Fig 1 shoyvs two of my improved hangers applied to a radiator and obviously by a ro er mam ulatlon of the nuts J on the re s ofthe angers the radiators can be adjusted at any desired inplane so as to cause the properly drainable at its out- Preferably the radiator is attached to the my improved hanger to prevent bracket of forward tipping or displacement of the radiator u on the hook or seat It supported from the said bracket, and the means preferably employed for thn the said bracket which has a hook or lip 14 overlappin the rear side of the central member 5 0 the bracket and has its shank 15 extending forwardly through an air-space 16 which extends forwardly and rearwardly through the radiator and is gradually enlarged toward *thforward side of the radiator. The shank of the bolt is screw-threaded at the free end of the shank, and a correspondingly threaded nut L is mounted forward portion of the air-s ace 16, and a washer inner end of the nut and abuts against the forwardly diverging forward portions of the top and bottom wa ls of the said airspace.

That I claim is 1. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a series of brackets, each having a central member and horizontal end members vertically extended portions provided with openings for securing the same to a wall, a

S2. A hanger for wall radiators comprising a bracket having a central member, and horizontal end members pmjecting therefrom with vertically extended portions for attachment to a wall, a rod movable in holes in the horizontal end members and ad- Lustably supported from the up er end memor. said I0( having an offset ower portion flush with the central member aforesaid and terminating in a radiator seat and a booki Z is mounted on the said shank at the bolt passing through the radiator for securing the radiator in engagen'ient with the central member the hook of said hook-bolt being adapted to engage said central member of the bracket.

3. A hanger for wall radiators comprising a bracket adapted to be secured to a wal pendent of the bracket for adjusting said rod Vertically thereof. said rod terminating in a radiator seat at its lower end and a hookbolt passing through the radiator and engaging said bracket and adapted to secure a radiator thereto.
